reads an XML file and add its data into a Kinto server

xml2kinto

Synchronizes an XML file with a Kinto collection.

To run it, make sure you have Python and virtualenv, and run:

$ make update-blocklist-file update-schemas
$ make sync

This will update the Stage instance by default. If you want to run the script against another Kinto endpoint, you can specify it using the KINTO_SERVER variable.

Example

$ make sync KINTO_SERVER=http://localhost:8888/v1

xml2kinto's Issues

add-ons and plugins are missing an optional "os" field

See https://github.com/mozilla-services/amo-blocklist-ui/pull/56

add a simple verifier

After the script ran, we want to count items in Kinto and verify we have the right number.

--server option

Something like:

$ xml2kinto --server https://kinto.dev.mozaws.net/

• add a --server option so we can point the script to the right Kinto
• expose the value as an environment variable so it's easy to change when "make sync" runs
• document the option in README.rst for Ops

Rename the "addons" collection to "add-ons"

See https://github.com/mozilla-services/amo-blocklist-ui/pull/50

Use the new cli_utils feature to get rid of remove_actions

See: Kinto/kinto-http.py#63

subject / pubkey blocklist items do not get populated properly

Add a command line argument to handle collection administrator credentials configuration

Something like:

xml2kinto --auth user:password

Handle --auth-type requests like CLI parameter

Today we can only use xml2kinto with BasicAuth as per #11
It would be interesting to let people use FxA or other Authentication scheme.

Something like this:

xml2kinto --auth-type fxa-bearer --auth 'email:password'

Keep the blockID

The blockId is used to be able to generate the URL for more information about the blocked item.

Merge xml2kinto and kinto2xml

Now that xml2kinto is in good shape, it would be great to add the kinto2xml command in the same repository.

Add a command argument to handle server selection.

Something like:

xml2records --server https://kinto.dev.mozaws.net/

Add a command argument to handle file selection

Something like:

xml2kinto --file blocklist.xml
